[Verse 1]
Good man, good woman
Hooked up and they had a couple of children
Four kids, look what the lord did
Smilin' on my parents with a blessing

And even though their days wouldn’t be long
Momma looked around and daddy's gone
But we weren’t alone
Until the lord called her home

She’s in a place with my little sister
From time to time man I really miss her
And as for my dad, from what I understand
He was a strong man
And I know they’re back together

[Chorus]
Poppa went first, and momma went last
But I ain’t mad, cuz I know that
They’re back together again, up in heaven
When the sun shines down
There’s a smile on my face
There ain’t no doubt when I think about
Where they went
And they’re back together, together again

[Verse 2]
I wish I could tell em
All of the things I never got to tell him
But I’m sure he knows
(??) told him so
And even when I start stressin’
I think of what a good time they’re havin’

And the bottom line is
Man I know this

She’s gone upstairs with my little sister
And I can clearly see the picture
Julie and my dad
How can I be mad
When the lord has brought them together

[Chorus]
See poppa went first, and momma went last
And I ain’t mad, cuz I know that
They’re back together again, up in heaven
As the sun shines down
There’s a smile on my face
There’s no doubt, there’s no doubt when I think about
Where they went
Cuz they’re back together again

[Bridge]
Even though that my parents just wasn’t in the plans
See, when I was a young man I didn’t understand
Now I’m all grown up, and I’m missing your touch
The portrait in the frame, it’s just not enough
All the dreams I’ve been chasin’ after everyday
The memories just won’t seem to fade away
There’s only one thing, I’ll tell you something
I know that they’re dancing up in heaven through the lord’s grace

[Chorus]
Cause poppa went first, and momma went last
And I said I ain’t mad cuz I know where they went
Up in heaven, upon high
When the sun shines down, and the rain starts to pour
I know…sister I know
You’re dancing in the sky
Said I wrote this song about it, and I’m real real proud about it
I know you’re dancing in the sky
Yeah…
